Remote Client PC Cannot Connect to VPN

I am having trouble getting a client computer at a remote home office to connect to my SBS 2003 VPN. Here is my current setup:

Main Office (my home office):
Comcast -> SBS 2003 (DHCP, R&RA, Exchange) -> Router acting as switch/WAP -> workstations

Remote home office:
Comcast -> Router acting as DHCP/switch/WAP -> client computer

Earlier this week, I was able to connect just fine to the PPTP VPN. It would sometimes take a try or two, but it worked. Now, after changing nothing, the client computer cannot connect at all. I had him run a trace (tracert) to my server, and as soon it hits my server, all of the hops are timed-out.

Where should I start? Is it more likely a setting in his router, something in my access policies, a combination? Again, he was able to connect earlier this week. I'm pretty new to this, so the help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
